All values are actuals from tracked container records. Paths flagged low n have fewer than 20 records and should be read as directional.
The median transit time is 40.0 days. This is based on 127 containers tracked end-to-end on this exact direct path.
Most containers arrive within 39.0–41.0 days (P25–P75 of 370 tracked records on this lane). Plan with this range, not a single number.
The shipping distance from Mundra to Sines is approximately 5,220 nautical miles (9,667 km).
MSC line operates direct service on this lane in our tracked dataset.
No transshipment paths are present in the tracked dataset for this lane — containers observed move directly from Mundra to Sines.
Approximately 52.0 days door-to-door. The median gate-in dwell at Mundra is 7.0 days. Vessel sail time from Mundra to Sines is 40.0 days. The median gate-out dwell at Sines is 5.0 days.
Container shipping from Mundra to Sines spans approximately 5,220 nautical miles, equivalent to 9,667 kilometres of sea route. Our tracked dataset for this lane includes 370 records across qualifying paths. Of those, 127 containers were tracked end-to-end on the direct path (literally booked from Mundra to Sines with no transshipment). The median sail time on direct service is 40.0 days. Most shipments arrive within 39.0 to 41.0 days, the P25–P75 range covering the middle half of observed transits.
The typical door-to-door figure is 52.0 days. Median gate-in dwell at Mundra is 7.0 days, representing the time a container spends at the origin terminal between arrival at the gate and loading onto the vessel. Vessel sail time from Mundra to Sines is 40.0 days. Median gate-out dwell at Sines is 5.0 days, covering discharge and the time before pickup at the destination terminal.
Direct service — meaning no transshipment between origin and destination — is the dominant routing on this corridor. It is supported by 370 leg-level observations on the direct segment. Of those, 127 were containers literally booked direct from Mundra to Sines and tracked end-to-end on this exact path. MSC operates the dominant tracked direct service. On the direct segment, the median sail time is 40.0 days, and the P25–P75 range runs from 39.0 to 41.0 days.
For planning purposes, treat the 39.0 to 41.0 day P25–P75 range as the realistic arrival window for direct service. About half of all observed direct shipments fell within that 2.0-day spread. When committing door-to-door dates to consignees, account for an additional 7.0 days of gate-in dwell at Mundra and 5.0 days of gate-out dwell at Sines on top of the chosen sail time.
